Tool boxes?

[WR Landscaping]

Anybody using one of these?

Stanley Pro Mobile Tool Chest, 1-97-503

And if so can you get a 19" trowel into it? Any other ideas as using buckets for trowels and all my tools is getting annoying, be much easier with just one box for all bits.

Also for spacers im thinking of getting this to store different sizes and save me getting them mixed up

Or do you guys just use the boxes they come in and hope for the best? (It may be that im a wrecker though and just destroy the cheap boxes they come in) :drool5:

I'm sure a 19" trowel would go in one of those, if not flat then definately on an angle or corner to corner. I have 2 of the roller cases, good bit of kit, you can use them to stand on, put your cutter on, sit on etc.

I use the stanley flat cases for small bits and pieces, the type with the invididual removable trays

I have either 5 ltr adhesive buckets for spacers or the bucket they came in.
As for the toolbox, I had one similar a while back but the handles pulled out. Its a good box but you tend to fill it and then yo have to lift it upstairs and into the van.

I could already fill it but im hoping that using one box will stop me buying tools like a magpie :rolleyes5:. I better treat myself to a trip to the great store thats b&q then this week and blag one as a birthday present.

Great store and B&Q in the same sentence ?? you sure ?

Of course im sure. Those lovely people at b&q provide us all with trade cards which then entitle us to absolutely no discount off anything. Its an amazing place:mad2::lol:

yeah but you get to go through the big up and downy door at the tradesman exit !
